Evidence-based approaches to managing this condition.
First-line treatments
Disease management and monitoring
Active treatment with regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is recommended.
Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists
Spironolactone or eplerenone block aldosterone effects, reducing sodium retention and scarring in heart muscle while providing additional cardiovascular protection.
Diuretics for Congestion
Loop diuretics such as furosemide help manage fluid overload by promoting urinary sodium and water excretion, relieving symptoms of congestion.
Additional treatment options
Daily Weight Monitoring
Patients should weigh themselves consistently to detect fluid retention early, as rapid weight gain often precedes symptomatic exacerbation.
lifestyleCardiac Resynchronization Therapy
CRT devices coordinate the ventricles' contractions through biventricular pacing, improving cardiac output in patients with electrical conduction delays.
surgicalFluid Restriction
Limiting daily fluid intake to 1.5-2 liters helps prevent volume overload in patients with significant cardiac dysfunction.
